Wet Telephone Book Tests!
A pal and I tested various loads on wet telephone books, duct taped together so we could have about 2 feet of penetration if we needed. When we shot a 10mm, 135 grain CorBon, the results were amazing. Everything else seemed to penetrate to a certain depth, 8" to 10" and even to 18" for a .45acp cast bullet load. But the 10mm, 135 gr CorBon literally EXPLODED after penetrating about 2 inches. What we found was the base of the bullet, and "oatmeal" 1 1/2 times the size of a soft ball. I really need to test some .45acp light bullet CorBon, but I tell you the 10mm was impressive. A dead cartridge, I don't think so! But does it fill a gap, hard to tell. But, it sure is impressive. It ruined our phone book test.
